Ah ok cool, think I need to get mine on the corner weight scales again, see how much it is now..
The 5 door is listed as being the same weight as the 3 door, not sure if thats true though. Those figures seem to show it could be..

i think they could be the same as there is still weight in the rear qtr with impact beams and glass and interior plastics and mine was full to the brim in fuel

Thats dry though, no coolant, oil, fuel etc etc.. There is usually about 25KG in fluids and other bits that they dont quote on the figures, but interesting that they say the ED30 is 29KG heavier than the normal GTI.. Why would that be?? :surprised:

Must be that K04 you lot keep banning on about.... must be Huuuuuuuuuuuuuge :grin: :grin:
john_o:
using Matts car :
Matts car = 1428 kg
minus fuel (1 litre = 0.737 kg , so 40 kg (55 litres)?)
so weight of car would be 1388 kg
1357 kg book for ED30
+ 25kg (fluids etc )
= 1383kg
which tallys :happy2:
So ED30 without fuel but inc fluids looks to be around 1385 kg
What options you got Matt?
